Hey guys,! is their a Short Oil filter that can be used on my 82 911SC? My AC unit line almost touches back of the regular long filter & no room to twist it off! thanks!

Have never seen a shortie.

Absolutely no way you can flex that line 3/4 of an inch (max) to remover oil filter?

Put on a shorter A/C belt, It'll give you a bit more room.

I loosen A/C hose a hair so I can rotate it a bit to provide clearance for the oil filter. But, not enough to lose R134.Then move back into original position and tighten Have also removed top of airbox and gained clearance.

Like the idea of a shorter A/C belt Marc. Will investigate this option.
